I hope so. None of them spoke english and so trying to ask questions was futile. The only guy who even tried to talk to me was able to ask "your house?" I said yes. He said mi english no bueno then started laughing. We are supposed to meet with the installations manager at the house this week. Should be fun. I honestly have no idea how they will fix this. I have never done siding nor have I ever watched it being installed. I just know it looks sad. They did a fantastic job on the windows though.

I’ll be interested to see how it goes

Is it a legit company? If so, threatening media, Better Business Bureau, court, and social media will usually get them to fix it....

We went very hard after the owner of the roofing company when their Spanish speaking crew was making derogatory remarks towards WTF.

Little did they know that she knows enough Spanish...

Qué estaban diciendo?

They tell each other pretty early in the job
“El Slicebo habla español.”

The best one ever, I walked into a job and one Mexican said to another. “Quien es el pendejo “ (who is the dumbass). I said “El pendejo es el jeffe y es una carajo grande”
(The dumbass is the boss and is a large *******. )

Yes. They do a World of things. Very well known and respected around here. At least until now. We bought a package deal of windows, siding and gutters. The siding itself looks nice, it is the corners and finish that kinda stinks.

If you show them those corners, they should rectify it pretty quick. If not, blasting them on social media should work....

We sent pics to the guy who we worked with to purchase everything. He says he "is on our side" and "this is not up to our standard of quality". Needless to say we ain't writing the check for the remainder until the wife is happy. I am sure they want that chunk of dough and should be tripping over thenselves to get it. With the ease of droping their online review score they really should be going above and beyond.

It just looks sloppy and unfinished.

We are hoping to have the house on the market in the next couple months.

been a week fo sho man

You doing okay?

 

[NorCalVol67]

I haven’t had tequila in 2 or 3 weeks.

That’s a record.

You doing okay?

yeah man, thanks for asking
I appreciate it
right now I'm at the "one year since this happened" stage. I look back and think of what my hopes and expectations were vs how everything turned out. Some days are more difficult than others.
I had to write everything down because of insurance, so if I look at that, I sort of "relive it."
I have to give kudos to my students though: they're helping me a lot. Teenagers are resilient, and a lot of them give more of a F than people think.
They know it's been a difficult year for me, and they're so good about it. They give me that sense of "normalcy," if that makes sense.
To hear them come into class and say "We're still praying for you" etc. means more than any words can ever say. Sometimes I crack, and I know they see a tear or two, but whatever.
I dream sometimes, and sometimes that's not good. It's still surreal. I have meds but don't want to become overly dependent on them.
Edit: The quetiapine is a bender, and the doc gave me that simply for sleep.

I’m having trouble giving a ****.
At this point I’m just going to wait and see who runs out there to start the season and hope they play well enough to win.

I'm having no trouble at all. I'm less excited about football than I've ever been. I'm sure I'll get more excited as August nears, but usually by now I'm already counting the days.

The thread is just funny. People talking out of both sides of their mouth and others repeating the same thing 3 to 4 times in the same thread. Same thing they've said in 5 other threads 3 to 4 times. And I'm not saying I disagree, just saying the repetitiveness is...lol, same Ole thing. Nevermind.
